 # If you need to set multiple mailbox locations or want to change default
 # namespace settings, you can do it by defining namespace sections.
 #
-# You can have private, shared and public namespaces. The only difference
-# between them is how Dovecot announces them to client via NAMESPACE
-# extension. Shared namespaces are meant for user-owned mailboxes which are
-# shared to other users, while public namespaces are for more globally
-# accessible mailboxes.
+# You can have private, shared and public namespaces. Private namespaces
+# are for user's personal mails. Shared namespaces are for accessing other
+# users' mailboxes that have been shared. Public namespaces are for shared
+# mailboxes that are managed by sysadmin. If you create any shared or public
+# namespaces you'll typically want to enable ACL plugin also, otherwise all
+# users can access all the shared mailboxes, assuming they have permissions
+# on filesystem level to do so.
 #
 # REMEMBER: If you add any namespaces, the default namespace must be added
 # explicitly, ie. mail_location does nothing unless you have a namespace
